The Downbeat

This show is all about “Lyrical Dissonance” (n): when the music and lyrics are in discord or disagreement. In other words, this show will feature songs in which the music is upbeat and cheerful while the lyrics are sad and discouraging. Some featured artists include: Tame Impala, The Format, Arctic Monkeys, The Vaccines, Cold War Kids, Marina and the Diamonds, Lorde, and the Mountain Goats.

Listen on Tuesdays from 12AM – 2AM for upbeat tunes with downbeat attitudes.
